Your membership subscription helps cover ALIG’s running costs (no salaries, we’re all volunteers), such as the ALIG newcomer welcome packs, printing, publicity materials and web hosting. We charge nominal fees (P300 for the general meetings including lunch) for our regular events, many of which are held here in Ayala Alabang, so you don't need to trek into Makati to stay in touch.
Our excursions are usually charged at cost and any profits from these and, of course, our fund raisers (annual dinner/dance, garage sales and book/CD sales) go to support our needy charities.
So, for the same cost as a bottle of wine, a little more than the departure fee at the airport or less than a visit from the pest exterminator, your ALIG membership fee (P1,500) can give you all this.
What’s more you get the chance to make some wonderful friendships that will likely be more satisfying than pest protection, give greater pleasure than the wine and be remembered years after you pay your final airport fee!
